It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.

It's a little sweeter than the traditional Yukichubai, but it mellows out when heated, so I haven't had it for a long time. I bought it a long time ago and drank it lukewarm. It was just the right amount of sweetness, and the warming softened the alcohol and made it mellow and delicious. I enjoyed it with sashimi, kamaboko (fish cakes), and other fish-based foods.

Is it because I've been drinking it for so long that I feel at ease, or is it the power of this drink in the first place? This year's Yukichubai was also delicious. Sometimes I get a few that are not so good. But the tasty ones are good whether they are sake or regular sake. Let me drink it again!

One that my brother in my hometown gives me every year. I serve it with nodoguro (northern bluefin tuna) and firefly squid sashimi. It is a good sake with a nice sweetness in a light flavor.

At Niigata-kan. It is said to have a soft mouthfeel and a rancid taste with acidity unique to junmai. Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Joetsu, including contract-grown rice, is used. This sake is made using the box koji method.

Izakaya Monorail Niigata Sake 3️⃣ My least favorite in this Niigata sake drinking comparison was Nohtaka 🤣. I think its robust flavor is a favorite for those who like light and dry sake, but it's still a little too early for us little kids😅. The one we liked the most in this comparison was Yukichubai 😇. It was light but had a delicious junmai-like rice flavor 😇. I was impressed by the variety of flavors in this Niigata sake 😀. I should not judge it by the image I had so far 🤣. It was a day that opened up a whole new world of Sake for me 😀.
